Is Air Botswana a Partner with Any World-wide Carrier?
 

Subject says it all. I may be flying on the carrier, and I just hate not to get miles when I fly.

Not that I am aware of since they don't? even have their own program. Most of their routes are serviced by South African Airways.

. . . where you could earn significant miles that is.

use SA Eagle if you can Air Bots had a hiccup a couple of years back where a disgruntled captain did a hari-kari with one of their turbo props and took out another three planes at Gabarone airport runway area
Air Bots use French turbo props since jets would blow away the airport main building at Francistown

Apart from the points issue, I can think of no reason to avoid Air Botswana. Aircraft and service are fine, I've never had reason for complaint on the occasions I have used them.

Last time I checked, SA Eagle was an insurance company. Not sure how to use them to get to Botswana. Perhaps they sell seats on their corporate jet? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Bought a ticket on Air Botswana paper to fly from Maun to the Magkakikadi Salt Plains in the Kalihari Desert for Christmas Day. Ended up on a 4 seater single engine cessna. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Later flew a larger Air Botswana jet to Victoria Falls. Maun airport for a smaller African country was pretty impressive - a rich country.
